Navigate Havendock like a pro! This guide covers everything from basic needs like hunger and thirst to advanced island exploration and building strategies. Get started today!

Hey there, newcomer to Havendock! So you're looking to get your bearings and figure out this whole island survival thing? You've come to the right place. This guide is going to walk you through the essentials, from keeping your settlers happy to knowing which islands are worth your time. Think of me as your seasoned co-op partner, showing you the ropes.

We'll cover the absolute basics to get you started, dive into the different islands you can explore, and break down all the buildings you'll need to construct to thrive. Let's get this settlement up and running!

The Basics

First things first, let's talk about what keeps your little settlers alive and kicking. You'll need to keep an eye on their Hunger and Thirst, make sure they're feeling good with Happiness, and progress through the Research tree to unlock new goodies. Don't forget about Meals – happy settlers eat well! And of course, managing your Settlers and any Animals you bring on board is key. Oh, and keep an eye out for Traders; they can be a lifesaver!

Islands

Havendock's world is spread across a bunch of unique islands, each with its own resources and challenges. You've got:

  • Astro Island
  • Bird Island
  • Cow Island (essential for milk!)
  • Fishing Island
  • Moon Island (great for cotton seeds!)
  • Wizard Island (DLC)

And don't forget about Boats – you'll need 'em to hop between these places!

Buildings

Building your base is where the magic happens. You'll be constructing all sorts of structures:

  • Animal Buildings
  • Base structures
  • Crafting stations
  • Decor to keep those settlers happy
  • Food production buildings
  • Magic related structures
  • Oil and Energy facilities
  • People related buildings
  • Underwater constructions

Q&A - Quick Tips

Got some burning questions? Let's see if we can clear them up:

  • How do I get cotton? You can set up scavenging tents to collect it, or if you've upgraded your boat, head to Moon Island. There's a trader near the dock who sells cotton seeds. Just a heads-up, you'll need to keep buying seeds as there's no other way to get a steady supply.
  • How do I quickly insert/extract items from buildings? Use Shift+right-click to put materials into a building, and Ctrl+right-click to pull out the finished products. Super handy for farms and cookhouses!
  • How do I get milk? First, buy some cows from the farmer on Cow Island. Then, build Barns for them – these act as both the input and output for milk production.
  • What's that desert island with the person in the smelter? Don't worry about that one for now; it's still a work in progress and can be ignored.

That's the rundown to get you started. Keep an eye on your settlers, explore those islands, and build smart!
